Can these be used with hot liquids? i.e. when making ice-cream batter and straining noodles.

The only time I use them with hot liquids is when I drain pasta. I think it would be okay with hot liquids. They are BPA free and dishwasher safe. I use them a lot and I love them. You can call OXO at (800)545-4411 to better answer your questions.

I have used them with an immersion blender and had no problem. They're very sturdy so I would be surprised if they cracked or broke with a hand-held mixer.

No, they're not strong enough for boiling water (which would heat them too hot to be safe for use anyway) and would melt in a conventional oven. Try microwaving in 30 second intervals until they're as warm as you want them.

Yes, but they will melt faster. I have even added toppings for icecream for more flavor. It freezes great for eating later.

Hi Shawn! I used these for a party, but I didn't put a hot liquid in them. If you are wanting to put something really hot in them, then I don't think this item would work. Warm, perhaps but nothing extremely hot. I hope this helps.

I do use these with hot beverages - actually tea and I don't find it a problem as it doesn't get any hotter than the beverage and if you are cautious when you initially use them until you become used to the difference and use common sense, you shouldn't have a problem.

I have used them for veges and home made soup, on Med heat. You need to partially thaw first to make sure there are no holes in the bag. Probably would work for Spaggeti sauce, but I wouldn't boil the water then put the bag and contents in if its a rapid boil. Have to experiment.

I use these to do the final freeze on ice cream which is thicker that water. I also use them to freeze ice cream liquid mix which is about like milk and they do not saturate before it freezes. They are quite sturdy - I'd say give it a shot and see what happens - allow a little room for expansion.

I would not use these with a hot beverage. They get super cold (colder than the beverage) with cold beverages. Using them with hot beverages could result in burned lips.

If they don't soak in the ice cream causing them to melt---but are sereved on the side---I think they would be strong enough. I bought them as a gift for my friend to use with her grandchildren in hot chocolate. I was surprised at how strong they were. Wanda M.

Yes,you can cook with hot liquids. I have had these bowls for some time. I regularly put them in the top and bottom rack of the dishwasher and microwave them with no ill effects. I love these bowls!JJ

No I had previously used these to stir chocolate syrup into milk and they became extremely flimsy. I would assume they would do the same if not almost desenegrate with a hot beverage.

Yes, microwave and hot liquid safe! I still have these and I bought them over a year ago!

I would think so, yes. They are made of silicone which is heat resistant to 500 degrees F. Also, they don't absorb flavors in the same way that your silicone rubber spatula/scraper doesn't. That leaves me to wonder why you might be freezing tomato sauce in them but thats another question for another day ;)

Yes, they can be used with hot or cold beverages and cleaned in the dishwasher. The only thing we have never done is to place them in a microwave.

Yes it can be used in hot liquid. The part that goes into the liquid is stainless steel just like the corded ones.

I've used them in the microwave, you shouldn't have anyproblems at all. The 1 2 3 recipe will work great.
